Our First Board Has Wrapped
Earlier this week we hosted our final conference call with the first class of our Community Advisory Board. When we launched the board last fall, we wanted a forum of open discussion and constructive feedback. Topics included industry leadership, recruitment and growth, and rules and structure.
